Its gameplay is similar to Final Fight but it adds web-slinging attacks and unique accuracy-based specials. You can play as Spider-Man or Venom and both have their own unique stages.

Maximum Carnage won me over despite its glaring flaws. Its graphics are largely amateurish and the enemy design is abysmal. But the core combat is surprisingly satisfying and the web attacks combined with the accuracy gimmick make this a memorable brawler. The music also has a strong identity if you can dig its style.
